2121 Avenue Y, Brooklyn, NY 11235

The 2121 Avenue Y property in Sheepshead Bay is a 2-story, 3-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1930, currently in a situation of ownership transition following the passing of former owner Kook Chung. The building's maintenance history reveals some significant patterns, particularly regarding bedbug reporting compliance.

From 2021 through 2024, the building received four consecutive violations related to the failure to file the required annual bedbug reports under § HMC, with each violation subsequently closed. However, the most recent bedbug report filed in May 2024 for the period from November 2022 to October 2023 shows no instances of infestation (0 infested units, 0 eradicated units, 0 re-infested units), suggesting either successful management of the issue or potential misreporting in previous years. The building experienced two distinct service interruptions in November 2018, including a non-emergency power outage and an emergency toilet plumbing issue, both of which were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) and closed without any violations being issued.

While these incidents were resolved relatively quickly, it's worth noting that they occurred simultaneously, indicating a potential period of reduced resident comfort. Since those incidents, there have been no further documented electrical or plumbing issues, though the bedbug reporting violations over the following years suggest previous oversight in compliance with housing maintenance regulations. The most recent HPD inspection in April 2024 noted a bedbug reporting violation, though this appears to be an administrative issue rather than a direct impact on current residents' conditions, given the subsequent bedbug report showing no infestations.
